Marie McCaffrey of the Leitrim Riding Club has been in touch to say that there are still places left on the Equine Training & Learning workshop on 7 November in Drumshanbo. The workshop will be conducted by Orla Doherty MVB MSc MRCVS, Veterinary Behaviourist and Associate Lecturer at UCD and UL.
The workshop is designed to equip the horse owner/rider with a better understanding of how the horse learns, how this knowledge may be used to best advantage in training and riding, how behaviour problems in the ridden and handled horse arise, and how these problems may be resolved. The afternoon practical session, delivered by Orla involves helping riders to train their horses, both in hand and under saddle, using science-based techniques, which eliminate the need for force or punishment, and equip the rider to achieve maximum performance from their horse, while eliminating commonly encountered problem behaviours.
